My polypterus ornatipinnis breeding

[Obscure]

Alright, how to hatch them though? I've done some backreading and can't seem to find any info. On it. Are they fertilized or not? TIA.

Yes they are fertile should be hatching soon. Make sure other aquarium is cycled.

Maybe get some baby brine shrimp eggs too, keep the water level low, frequent water changed and a tightly sealing lid. That's all I know

I'm waiting for these to appear in my tank

I will, thank you so much for the tips. I hope my eggs make it (that sounded weird )

Always surprises in the hobby! What species are they?

 

[Obscure]

I woke up today and found more eggs. i transferred them in a small tank now.

Here they are. Any more tips and suggestions would be very much appreciated

Once the eggs hatch, try dropping the water level down pretty low (5-8cm) and running gentle filtration on it. Poly larvae need air access and struggle to find food so shallow water allows both of those things to be easier. Keep up with water changes, daily if possible, to keep it clean. Live foods are also best for feeding.

This is info that I have gathered from the forum, haven't had a chance to apply it yet though. Good luck!

Thank you for those information i'm glad i registered in the forums. Oh and by gentle filtration do you mean sponge filter with aerator?

Sponge is perfect for fish fry.
